So many generations are bereft of their gifts. The yoke of youth - so laborious yet so wonderous. Raanan loves to bring all that you taught him at his school. In spite of his sadness surrounding his divorce and absence of his beloved daughter who is now back in Israel, your greatest gift to him is his satisfying work. Regards Lorilee Mallek Dear Dr. Landes

I can't see the keys because of the tears in my eyes. I was also interested in your analysis of control vs mourning and even though I especially like the idea of fooling ourselves thinking we have something, I was also wondering if there is any danger (if the relationship to text is analogised to relationship with a person) control being the model that gives us joy, could it also be something like creativity and possibility? bekavod and shana tova Malka Dear Rav Landes
